Geophysical, hydraulic and mechanical properties of synthetic versus natural sandstones under variable stress conditions. (NERC grant NE/R013535/1)
The use of synthetic samples for rock physics experiments in the lab is a common practice for reservoir characterization and reservoir studies. This dataset gather ultrasonic P- and S-wave velocities and attenuations, electrical resistivity, axial and radial strains, permeability and mineralogical composition, of two synthetic and two natural sandstones, measured at variable realistic reservoir conditions of stress. The data were collected during an original study which aimed to assess the extent to which the measured properties between synthetic and natural sandstones are comparable. The work was accepted for publication in Geophysical Prospecting on the 01/10/2018, which can be accessed following the link: https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2478.12699 Falcon-Suarez, I.H., Amalokwu, K., Robert, K., North, L., Best, A.I., Delgado-Martin, J., Callow, B., Sahoo, S.K.

The properties were measured at variable confining stress (within the range 15 - 50 MPa) and pore pressure (5 and 10 MPa), dry and (3.5% NaCl) brine saturated, to simulate different in situ reservoir conditions. The tests were carried out in the high pressure experimental rig for multiflow experiments located in the Rock Physics lab at the National Oceanography Center, Southampton (NOCS). The synthetic samples were manufactured at the NOCS, while Berea sandstone and Corvio sandstone were the natural samples selected for comparing properties.
